RIBA Forgotten Spaces 2013

Date

The Royal Institute of British Architects will stage a major architecture exhibition at Somerset House this autumn with a showcase of the hugely popular Forgotten Spaces ideas competition.

The exhibition will feature 26 innovative propositions to renovate a series of London’s disused and abandoned spaces which restore them into public attractions for all to enjoy. They include proposals for a zoo in the decommissioned gas holders at Bromley by Bow, an events space on floors 24 – 30 (the satellite platforms) of the iconic BT Tower, a public pool in a disused tube station at Aldwych and the revival of the forgotten River Fleet at St Pancras Gardens.
